like always

THURSDAY 1/9/2020 5:57 PM--the ACME Band might have a gig on January the 17th at...Leisure World...it doesn't pay much, but the tips might make up for that...
FRIDAY 1/10/2020 11:01 AM--so I went to Litz and bought a mic stand tray, which *I* will use as a tablet holder...I forgot to take the tablet with me so I didn't know if it would fit until I got back home...By some miracle the tablet DOES fit on the tray...and I bought a BLUE glass slide that fits a bit better than the clear one Butch gave me...I charged both items...I had to...I have $4 in my pocket and just enough money in the Bank to get car insurance (which is to be taken by GEICO on the twelfth)--and NOTHING else...
      If tonight's gig falls thru or there's some kind of financial problem, I'm fucked...
1:20 PM-it’s not what I want to do, but in about 10 minutes or so I’m going to load up my car and go to the Elks Lodge… I hope to be back home by 4 o’clock, which gives me time to take a shower and eat dinner and then I’ll make my way back to the Elks Lodge to do some tinkering with my equipment… Like it or not, I think I will be in Manual mode this evening, except when I need the octave patch… Looking back on it, I should’ve done the tinkering yesterday – I just didn’t have the energy…
 2:20PM-so I’m out here in back of the Elks Lodge building waiting for everybody else to show up… I don’t THINK anyone else from the band is in there already, But I don’t know for sure... I don’t really know what everybody drives – maybe I should by now, but I don’t… I thought I heard Brian say that he would be here at 2 o’clock – I don’t know if he is or not…
2:55PM-well, Brian and Butch are here; I don’t think I’m going to be back home before 4:30…
3:55 PM-I’ll consider myself lucky if I’m home by 5 o’clock… My plan is to be back here by 7PM...we’ll see...
6:10 PM--didn't get home from the load-in until almost 5:30...wow, three hours...came home, took a shower...now I'm having Dinner...I wanna be back at the Elks Lodge by roughly 7PM...
